    I just saw this for sale, on Etsy. I nearly fell off my chair. If this is one of you guys, I hope you get the asking price. It is a thing of beauty. It's a long way out of my budget. Is this the most expensive razor you've seen for sale?

    For that price, I wouldn't even have put the razor on top of the case for fear of causing a scratch.

    "the head is a British Aristocrat #15, and the handle is an American Aristocrat from the 40s" From a post at B&B.

    I thought it looked Gillette-ish. How come no one is reproducing these?

    I would love to have a vintage TTO open comb Gillette, even if it is cobbled together from parts separated by a big pond.

    the reason is no one makes them is that.... to make a genuine open comb tto involved 48-50 steps that were all punched and folding of brass sheet. then you have the actual handle to make...

    I finally got my TTO OC Gillette Sheraton. What a nice razor, and it shaves like a dream.

    That Anglo American Aristocrat is my dream razor. It is truly a thing of beauty. If I could have afforded it, I would have bought it the first time it came up for sale a few months ago.

    I have a couple of #15's,British and French.. They sure are pretty to look at, but they are not the best to shave with. I enjoy these Fatboy razors shaves more.
